Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pliers are ready to use out of the box and do not require assembly. For optimal compatibility, ensure that the object being gripped falls within the 34mm capacity limit to prevent jaw misalignment. To maintain the tool’s longevity, wipe the chrome-plated surface clean of grease, oil, or debris after every use. While the chrome finish is corrosion-resistant, it is recommended to store the pliers in a dry environment and apply a light machine oil to the pivot point periodically to keep the adjustable jaw mechanism moving smoothly.
